I had no idea what a friggin 'notch' was and had to go search for it, thinking I had missed out on some significant innovation. Not so much.
Essentially it is a small non-display 'cutout' in the display screen for things like front facing camera and speaker
----_o_(*)_----
That said, this is nothing particularly new or innovative, was not first developed by Apple, and having a trivial amount of additional asymmetrical screen space around the notch is not of significant value. I also doubt the additional complexity and transition costs for devs is worthwhile.
If a concept already failed to gain traction in the Android marketplace but Apple adopts it later, why must Android manufacturers suddenly bandwagon it? I swear the Android space is driven by fear of missing out as much as innovation at times.
I heard that they'll be moving to the CCv6 standard when the number space starts to get low. Should provide enough credit card numbers for every molecule in the solar system.
There's also a private credit card capability defined in RFCC 1918 (*) that is being used to mitigate the issue in many cases.
"will offer those impacted free identity protection services, including credit and web monitoring."
Translation - bit of an expense for a year to pay for this, then we are off the hook.
Yet the individual remains at risk for the rest of their life.
At a bare minimum when they lose your data, credit monitoring should be for life. Also full replacement cost for compromised credit cards should be included.
Then we move into other information often lost due to this kind of negligence that need replacement mechanisms also - SSN, DL#...
Rail is certainly better in terms of cost/pound/mile on restricted tracks between set endpoints when moving bulk cargo. Commuter rail works well also within similar parameters.
But he efficiencies of rail on segregated routes simply don't translate to a complete individual transport option. In urban areas carrying capacity is an issue. In rural areas the guideway is cost prohibitive.
This particular question is addressed at the very end of TFA. Sounds like there is a real concern with reducing the rainfall of other regions of China.
Reducing the rainfall in regions other than China is not mentioned as a consideration.
Beijing might not give the green light for the project either, he added, as intercepting the moisture in the skies over Tibet could have a knock-on effect and reduce rainfall in other Chinese regions.
What the voting public has said is that "Net Neutrality" is overshadowed by other issues. NN just doesn't overshadow things like Pro-Life/Choice, Gun Control/Rights, Immigration - issues that already engage the vast majority of single issue voters.
IMO - The Republicans are looking at this particular issue incorrectly. Ensuring a level playing field that promotes competition is the sort of regulation that IS appropriate by government in a capitalist society. Net Neutrality should be a stance of the right.
Sadly both parties are peopled by follow-the-leader/opposite-of-them idiots.

Fair enough, i'll grant it is possible to cause the auditory nerves to autogenerate impulses in other ways than killing or paralyzing the hearing cilia (few blanket statements about the human condition are 100% correct) but the vast majority of cases are due to cilia damage and the auditory nerves beginning to generate impulses on their own.
However, there -are- alternatives to the major social media services these guys don't want evolving into real threats. Usually these are reactionary to the objectionable actions (privacy ignoring, arbitrary and capricious, politically biased, news manipulation, blah blah) of the Facebooks and Twitters.
Shutting down US operations to relocate elsewhere would be a Godsend to those niche alternative platforms (even if they aren't US centric themselves.)
I was wondering the same, but they make good games, they just treat players like gaming's version of Comcast constantly pushing the boundaries of how to abuse customers for more money.
Consumers aren't their customers to 'get [their] credit services elsewhere.' This is a business to business market.
Consumers don't ask credit agencies to collect their information in the first place. These agencies doxx citizens without consent(*) and then sell the information on those citizens to 3rd parties.
The free market can only fix problems where the alternatives are somewhat comparable. In this case the choices for consumers are passively opt-in to credit reporting or actively avoid participating in society at a significant level. That's not a real choice so the market can't fix it.
Frankly, a plague on both parties. Regulate (D) vs. Don't-Regulate (R) is incorrectly seen as a binary choice. Promoting competition is the alternative that works for consumers in the long run - find what needs to be tweaked so the market is competitive and tweak that.
(*) I'm aware it's buried in fine print on every credit/debit card and bank account ever. That sort of encumbered consent imposed by unequal parties in contracts is abusive and eliminating that is where there is a legitimate role for government.
Vegetables are very much alive (or were before being lightly buttered, sprinkled with seasonings and grilled on the barbie...errr..sorry got distracted for a moment...)
To be fair, that perception is rather well founded in the windows world. I tried going down that road myself back in WGA introduction time frame, but gave up soon enough.

If you break that sentence apart, you could argue that the GP was half right :-p
about mining Facebook data now by the populist-right and didn't in the past by the liberal-left should be kept in perspective.

Same. AC is correct on this one.
Civil Forfeiture is the term to google.

Technically trivial perhaps.

They have them, but there is a steep subscription price.
